Hi all
We've been using a 180 day repack interval here for
many years, without problems.
When I was learning to skydive, and saw the shorter
intervals in the US manuals, I spoke to the safety
officer at our DZ about it. His opinion was that with
the current parachute materials, and particularly the
packing bungees, there was no problem with 180 days.
Apparently there was an issue years ago with
(natural?) rubber bands, which deteriorated rapidly.
What is the opinion of the experienced skydivers on
the list?
